Hi guys recently I got a new PC and it's Built-in the wall except for the front pannel. I have a wireless keyborad but the sensor is behind the PC. One of my OLD(2001) PC has some of my mom's photos but I can't boot the PC because the Keyboard is missing. I don't have another one and it would take about 2 hours just to take the sensor out to plug it on the other computer. My question is: how can i boot my pc without the keyboard.

PS: It's running Windows XP

Ill +rep the answers

Does this PC not have any front facing USB ports?

You can configure Windows to boot without prompting for a username and password, is this what you mean?

You would have to explain a bit more about your setup.

Well this PC has a Mice and thats it but when I start the PC it says no Keyboard detected and I can't continue. Now I want to know if there's a way to start the PC without the keyboard so I can use it with the mouse only because I only need to transfer pictures from the hard drive to an external drive.

Does the BIOS have any options for disabling keyboard detection failures? you will need to connect a keyboard to browse the BIOS for this.
